About Me

Sunday, July 5, 2009

Lately I've been loving the city: driving down the Sunset strip on the way home from work, taking my pick of weekend flea markets and discovering a fabric shop on the Westside. But there's still no place like your hometown for the Fourth of July, so that's just where we went for the long weekend - home to open lanes, open land and the Terrace Park fireworks. I brought along vintage trims in red white and blue (all from a box of old notions I found several weeks ago at the flea market). I decided to hand stitch them together to make a trio of tricolor cockades, which are quite fittingly, a very 18th century piece of insignia.

"It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with ...Bells, Bonfire and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more." John Adams to Abigail, July 3, 1776

Aloha Livy! Hope you're having a fun filled summer. As always...and I mean "always"...love your blogettes (as I call them). LoVe the pics and LoVe your latest crafty project. Thanks for sharing with all of us and bringing a smile to our faces! Your pal in Hawaii, Stacy :)
